My non-opinion on the non-event that is FIFA Bollywood Awards Cup for Times Of India (Pg 10), 30th June, 2014 There are 4 kinds of people around me these days. 1. People who love football and are genuinely enjoying the FIFA world cup. 2. People who are being paid to love football and talk about the FIFA world cup. 3. […]
Tiger Tiger. burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye. Could frame thy fearful symmetry? William Blake’s rich imagery and sheer awe for his subject left a serious impression on me when I first read the poem as a 12-year-old. The image of a tiger at the edge of a […]
So this gem is making the rounds on facebook now. “We are playing a game… silly, but fun! Write the colour of your bra as your status, just the colour, nothing else!! Copy this and pass it on to all girls/females … NO MEN!! This will be fun to see how it spreads, and we […]
It’s a scientifically established fact that T.V is awesome. But to be very honest, except for the spate of reality shows that I only watch because metaphorical train wrecks are more watchable than actual train wrecks (A not-so-subtle nod to you Ms. Sawant!) there’s nothing that can keep me watching T.V for more than a […]
It’s appalling how violent we as a society have become. In the US, Cops are tasering, (I will NOT say TAZING. It’s not even a word. Come to think of it, neither is tasering. Nice to know that even though my vocabulary is going down the drain at least it’s going the urban dictionary way) […]

Nahin jaayega, aage waale se poocho. The hanky was white, with a design on the edges that was so faded by repeated washings that I could not tell what it was anymore. When she would open it, the black seeds would lie there, insignificant as if unaware of their own power. Half an hour before […]
And God said, let there be mushrooms, and there was mushroom cappuccino with truffle oil, He said, “Let there be fish”, and there was baby rawas , He said “Let there be lamb” and there was lamb shank and last of all, He said “Ay Ganpat, chal daaru la” and there was pitcher of white […]
Nick introduced me to Sigur Ros when we were just getting to know each other. Moments of the first few months we spent together, are punctuated by their music and so I think I’m particularly partial to them. During those days, as we sat at Heddon watching the sky reflected in the placid water of […]
Kirsten handed me a copy of Kim Edwards’ The Memory Keeper’s Daughter a week ago. She said it was a book I had to read, and I think she’s also been trying to pan off her books on people she know will respect and care for them, since she moved into her new apt. in […]
